Chapter 6

"WUUUAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHGHHH..." I groaned loudly, waking up feeling like absolute shit. Lapis groaned back and pulled a pillow from under her stomach, yanking it over her head. "Husshhhh..." her muffled voice under the pillow commanded. I didn't even have the strength to sit up, and I couldn't breathe through my nose. It was runny, and I tried sniffing the snot back in, but that gave me a pounding headache.

"Ohhh by gawwd..." I said, all stuffed up. "LaAaAaAaPiSssss..." I dry-sobbed, draping an arm over my aching head. Lapis only hummed in response, not moving from her spot in her bed. "Are you feeling sick this morning?" I asked in a raspy voice, wondering if she got the bug too. "M-mm. Just tired..." she mumbled in response. "I must've gotten sick from the lake yesterday..." I groaned. Well of course I did, it was under 40 degrees outside and I almost drowned in the ice-cold water.

A sick feeling in the pit of my stomach then raised up to my chest, and I shot up and ran to the bathroom. I gripped either side of the toilet tightly, and barfed for about 5 minute straight. "Ewww" I whined, looking at the disgusting contents. When I figured I was done, I stood back up sluggishly and flushed the vomit down. I coughed, and then trudged back to the bed, flopping into it. My attendance for school this year has been shitty so far...

....

I realized that I was dozing in and out of sleep, just laying there. In my daze, I felt a hand press against my forehead for my temperature - it was probably mine, considering Lapis probably didn't even care that I was sick. But I don't remember what my forehead felt like...Anyway, I looked over slowly at my sidetable, where my phone was sitting, and spotted a bucket and a cup of hot tea. Did I put those there? I couldn't remember, because literally anything could've been a dream or reality in my state. I took a sip of the tea, and set it back down.

I checked the time, and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, which means Lapis was probably on her way back to the dorm. Ugh, I wish she hadn't seen me all sick like this...she's probably disgusted, I thought, mentally punching my immune system. The door knob jiggle startled me, and then the door slowly opened. Lapis walked in, and set her backpack down on the bed. "Still sick?" she asked, not turning her head to look at me. 

"Y-yeah.." I then hideously coughed and groaned. "I'm gonna hafta get off my ass and *COUGH* run to Walgreens and get some stuff..." I muttered, getting ready to get out of bed. She then pulled out a Walgreens bag full of stuff from her backpack and placed it on my sidetable. "Don't bother. I gotcha some stuff already." she said, looking away. I blushed, and took the bag from the table. "Really?! W-wow thanks!" I said, opening it and looking inside. 

There was Benadryl medicine and Halls cough drops in there, along with a 3-pack of Kleenex tissues. "I noticed you threw up a lot, so there's some Ginger Ale in the fridge..." she explained. She walked up to me, and pressed her hand on my forehead, and looked at me. I blushed darkly and stared up at her in shock. A slight blush creeped on her cheeks, and she immediately pulled away and looked away. "Uh...y-you still have a fever. So, um, just keep resting." she said. 

"Awwww!!" I smiled at her wide. She looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and pursed lips. "You care!~" I sung, folding my hands together over-excitedly. "What?! I...whatever." she deadpanned, looking down at her phone with a grumpy expression on her face. I giggled, and took out the stuff from the bag and set them down on the sidetable with the tea, bucket, and my phone. 

It was silent for a while, and something was on my mind and it was gonna drive me crazy if I didn't bring it up. "Have you and my brother...talked at all lately?" I asked, looking over at her. The bluenette was currently sitting on her bed scrolling through her phone as usual. She then stopped, and looked at me. "N-no...not lately...but I feel like I've been seeing him around a lot more often since we saw him across campus near the library the other day..." she explained, looking a little uneasy.

"Do...you ever think of speaking to him again?" I asked. "I dunno...maybe? I just feel like I'd make things worse than they already are if I tried talking to him again. So I try to avoid him altogether." she replied, looking back down at her phone. I only hummed in response, and thought deeply about what I should do about this. I mean he's my BROTHER. How come he never told me about Lapis? Why did he hide this from me? Hundreds of thoughts and questions flooded my mind at once, and I didn't know what to do. If I bring up Lapis to Jasper, then he'll know that Lapis told me, and he might hurt her. But he deserves to be confronted! But how? I felt so conflicted...

I then fell asleep again.
